OK, so the very first change for the car has been replacing the Tomei Ti exhaust.

It is just far to loud for the street and I also prefer the look of a normal oval muffler that exists straight out.

I ordered in a HKS Super Turbo catr back from RHD Japan as it has the same size pipe work as the Tomei Ti but larger mufflers, so in theory, I should getter better noise suppression with the same flow levels.

I still have to get the car back to Racepace for a few power runs on the dyno as this will tell the true story as to whether the flow, and power levels, remain unchanged with the new exhaust.

So the car went up on stands in the backyard and the swap over was done. You have to love the true bolt on fitment of Japanese gear, makes these backyard jobs much easier.

Here are some photos from the swap over...

One thing that has been frustrating me since getting the car is the fumes from the Oil Catch Can, they are really quiet bad.

Apparently RB26's with Cams gets a bit this way when the Catch Can vents to atmosphere.

So I wanted to set it up to re-circulate, but after looking at the outlet where the air filter is I found a problem...

  • The outlet is 40mm
  • The re-circulate inlet on the Greddy intake piping is 16mm

...so I was going to get the 40mm outlet welded up and a new, smaller outlet fitted, but I am short on money and time, so worked out a way around it.

The parts I bought to do this are...

  • 38mm Radiator hose with a 90 degree bend in it
  • Copper reducer 38mm to 16mm
  • 4 hose clamps
  • 2 meters of 16mm heater hose

What I did was cut a 90 degree bend from the radiator hose then, using the hose clamps, connected the reducer.

I then connected the 16mm heater hose to the small end of the reducer,

Then I fitted it all up and bingo, no more smell, it is great!!

Here are some photos...

fantastic car mate, that is definately the full banana

from just the pic seems like the HKS exhaust is stainless steel with a titanium tip - where as the Tomei unit is a full titanium unit with a cannon which would be why you would be getting the full theater of noise

thanks for sharing such a beast - keen on more pics (interior!)

Thanks for the kind words.

Here are a few pictures of the interior.

They are not very good photos, I need to get some of it since getting a good clean.

Here are a few randoms I took when the car was up on stands.

I removed the front bar to get a good look at it and check everything was OK prior to road worthy and registration.

Curious, what auction grade was this car from Japan?

I am the 3rd owner of this car in Australia, from what I understand it has been in the country for at least 3 years now

I am unsure of the grade it was when first imported, or even whether it was standard or modified.

Would be interesting to know though.

Want the front pipes!

Thought the cooler duct was a brake duct. Interesting.

Yes, the front pipes are rare as hens teeth, love them!!

The brake ducts are integrated into the front lip (above the diffuser), there is an inlet on each side of the lip. There is not any pipe work directing air to them actual calipers though, but that would be a nice addition - Super GT style set up.

Here is how the air is directed...

I found this, which is a factory option (unsure if it was for the 32, 33 or 34) but it may be a good, easy modification to do in order to feed the calipers some more fresh air.

is the interior black? isnt vspecII supposed to be black interior. Dont know if my eyes are playing tricks on me...

Yes, interior is black, they are crap photos taken in bad light.

I will get some better ones tomorrow.

Fantastic looking car mate and tastefully modded.

I have the front bar brake ducts on my car and they have dedicated pipe work from them to the front rotors. My rotors have a braket on the back with a metal ring that ducting can be hose clamped to - the ducting runs along the caster rod (tied on with cable ties) and than onto a collector attached to the lower front bar. I don't know if mine is the stock set-up or not, but yours doesn't appear to have the metal ring for attachment so i'd say it isn't

My gtr is currently in transit between states, otherwise i would grap some photo's for better explanation as it would be fairly simple to make up the ring bracket and add the ducting.

This car is an absolute beauty ! The parts list is to die for :)

That nismo oil cooler duct is friken fantastic....actualy the whole car friken is !!

Thanks.

Looks great Shaun lots of money has been spent on a this late model r34gtr glad it all worked out for you

Thanks.

Nice set up, certainly not standard.

It would be interesting to see it, especially how the section is attached to the actual caliper.

    • And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.
    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
